Pro football HOF trivia - Phogge - 10-06-2020
Compton JC has as many Pro Football Hall of Fame members as Stanford. All have ties to San Francisco. Name them.

Bobbbbbb got two... one more left.
St. Claire went to Poly and then to USF. When the Dons dropped football after the 10-0 season in '51 he finished at Tulsa. Hurryan Hugh went to UDub and took a pay cut (literally) to become a 49er rookie in 1952. Perry never played college football and went from Compton to the Niners. May have had some semipro between. OJ played at Galileo on the soph/frosh in '62 and on varsity the next two years. We stuffed him in '63 and he was All City in '64 although Nate Kirtman was POY at Washington.
So who is the other guy?
RE: Pro football HOF trivia - BobK - 10-06-2020
Snoop Dawg I'm sure he has appeared in SF.
OK maybe someone else. LOL Pete Rozelle. Right?

Stanford has three Pro Football Hall of Famers . . . Does anyone want to name them?
It looked like John Lynch might become Stanford's fourth Hall of Famer. He has been a finalist several times. But he hasn't quite been able to get there, and I'm wondering whether his time may have passed.

John Elway
Ernie Nevers

Correct! That's all three.

Bobbbbbb finally got Rozelle who was USF's SID during the 1951 undefeated season.
What famous politico and Marine Corps and Navy medal winner in WW2 served as student assistant to Rozelle at USF? What was the first college he attended before the war?

I wonder what happens if he is successful as a GM with the 49ers. Although I know that isn't supposed to be considered, it might at the very least keep him in the NFL limelight.

The assistant SID was war hero Pierre Salinger, later JFK's press secretary and future US Senator from California.

If Lynch doesn't make it into the HOF, then I'm not sure who Stanford's next viable HOF candidate would be. Probably Richard Sherman?
RE: Pro football HOF trivia - Papa John - 10-07-2020
Maybe David DeCastro?

Both Sherman and DeCastro are 5x All Pros.
